Is the kernel-staples match a key-lock match? [PDF]
Chem Sci, 2018 We demonstrated the existence of homo-ligand–homo-kernel–hetero-staples phenomenon in metal nanoclusters and the remarkable change in their properties by subtle interfacial structure tailoring.

The final step of 40S ribosomal subunit maturation is controlled by a dual key lock. [PDF]
Elife, 2021 Preventing premature interaction of preribosomes with the translation apparatus is essential to translation accuracy. Hence, the final maturation step releasing functional 40S ribosomal subunits, namely processing of the 18S ribosomal RNA 3’ end, is ...

A DNA dual lock-and-key strategy for cell-subtype-specific siRNA delivery
Nature Communications, 2016 The efficient and precise delivery of siRNA to target cells is critical to successful gene therapy. While novel nanomaterials enhance delivery efficiency, it still remains challenging for precise gene delivery to overcome nonspecific adsorption and off ...

An Unusual Transorbital Penetrating Injury by House-key (lock): A Case Report with a Small Review of Literature. [PDF]
J Clin Diagn Res, 2015 Penetrating injuries of the brain are quite uncommon, comprising approximately 0.4% of all head injuries. In our case, a four-year-old boy who fell forward on a house-key (lock) accidentally while playing with some other children sustained a left sided ...

Key-lock colloids in a nematic liquid crystal [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2017 The Landau-de Gennes free energy is used to study theoretically the effective interaction of spherical "key" and anisotropic "lock" colloidal particles. We assume identical anchoring properties of the surfaces of the key and of the lock particles, and we

Molecular Docking: From Lock and Key to Combination Lock
Journal of Molecular Medicine and Clinical Applications, 2018 Accurate modeling of protein ligand binding is an important step in structure-based drug design, is a useful starting point for finding new lead compounds or drug candidates. The 'Lock and Key' concept of protein-ligand binding has dominated descriptions

Experimental realization of the “lock-and-key” mechanism in liquid crystals [PDF]
Soft Matter, 2016 The ability to control the movement and assembly of particles in liquid crystals is not only an important route to design functional materials, but also sheds light on the mechanisms of colloidal interactions.
